Desire and Temptation

Chapter 1-"See no evil, think no evil"

The students flooded the hallway as the bell rang for the start of the homeroom. Noise was everywhere, talks about their summer vacation and the excitement of the start of the new class made the students livelier than the early morning sun. As soon as the teacher entered the classroom, everyone became silent and surprised when someone appeared behind the homeroom teacher.

“Wow! Is it a new student?” said she.

“I think so. Lucky! He’s such a beauty”, replied the other.

The young man was tall and neat. He had a little golden brown hair that reached up to his ears but not too long and disturbing to the eyes. It seemed natural for his body hair was of the same color as well. It gleamed attractively under the beam of the morning sun. He had a deep brown pair of eyes, well-formed nose and slender pinkish lips that curved into an appealing smile. He was undeniably handsome yet there’s a touch of softness in his character.

“Good morning class, I’m Jonathan Evans, your homeroom teacher. This is Peter, he’s a transfer student and he’ll be in this class. Please be good to him.”

“You can call me Peter. Nice to meet you all.” With a charming smile he spoke.

Giggles and whispers immersed from the class, the girls were delighted to have him while boys exchanged looks with the other. They might have thought of him as a treat however, it didn’t matter to Peter. For seeing things as it was, he was satisfied with his new school.

“Okay everyone; I’ll check the attendance now. Peter, sit at the vacant chair at the back.”

“Yes sir.”

“So let’s see, there are two people here in my lists that aren’t here. Where are Matthew and Leila? It’s first day of school and they’re already slacking off. Such troublesome kids… Anyway, we’re going to elect your class representative. Who wants to be one?”

In the middle of silence, a student raised a hand in everyone’s surprise; Peter volunteered to be the class representative. With an enthusiastic voice, he said. “I want to be the class representative Sir. I promise I’ll do my best!”

“Well, that’s great Peter. Thank you for accepting the job willingly. Everyone, please help Peter from now on.”

“Yes sir!” the class responded in unison.

Peter walked indulging himself with the beautiful surrounding of the school. Huge trees grow along the side of the school grounds giving it green scenery and refreshing feeling. The school grounds were wide that accommodates different sports field. In no doubt, with the high and grand buildings and surroundings, it was one prestigious private school ran by aristocrat families.

“Well, this school isn’t bad. I guess I could make more friends here. And the first step is to do my class representative job well. Today should be the first meeting of the student council with every class representative right? I wonder why they didn’t call a meeting. Guess I’ll just wait for further announcements.”

With satisfaction, he returned to his classroom for the afternoon classes. His classmates were very entertaining to him that he was able to become closer to them. He could talk normally with each of his classmate now and those who thought of him as a treat at first even started to like him. They found him very kind and charming and came to adore him. The class ended without him hearing any announcement so he asked his classmate about it.

“Isn’t there going to be student council meeting with the class representatives now? Well, from the school where I came from, we held the meeting in the first day of class.”
